A clear call for a drastic change.
That's the message Americans seem to have sent by electing Donald Trump the president
of the United States.
Let's dig a little deeper into what this bold new era could promise to the nation and the
world.
To help us make sense of it, we have Professor Kim Tae-hyun from Chungang University with
us.
Thank you for joining us today.
Thank you.
Trump's election victory was seen as a shocking upset.
Many analysts predicted the winner would be Hillary Clinton.
But clearly the cohesiveness and drive of those who saw eye to eye with Trump's style
and values was overwhelming.
What can we read further from this?
Trump
did more than win key states.
Some would say "the silent majority prevails."
Tell us more about these unsung backers of Trump's success.
On his way to the top though, the reality show star grabbed headlines for making lewd
comments about grabbing women without permission, and has left
us with a litany of sexist and racist remarks.
How can he repair his damaged image?
Let's talk about the impact on Korea.
Trump called the Korea-U.S. FTA a flawed deal, and promised to change things to America's
advantage.
Should we be concerned, and how can
we
be prepared
for such changes?
In terms of the Seoul-Washington defense alliance, things
are
not looking good for Korea.
What kinds of changes are expected?
- Defense cost sharing.
Thank you
for your time today, Professor Kim Tae-hyun.
